Just finished watching this web series and must say it was pretty good with the ending that left door ajar for a scintillating season 2. The good points- 1) The performances are top notch- Naseerudin Shah is superlative in a role which has a few gray shades, he is matched in his histornics by Atul Kulkarni and Sheebha. The lead pair is fresh and competent. Rahul Kumar as Kabir has the best lines while Kunal Roy Kapur is a bit over the top but still engaging. Rajesh Tailang and Amit Mistry have provided able support. 2) I belong to Jodhpur and it was so refreshing to see my native place captured beautifully especially the spectacular Mehrangarh Fort in all its splendor and glory. 3) the story line is intriguing and fresh though becomes a little melodramatic in the last 2 episodes. 4) this might be the first show which brings classical music right into your living room, the intricacies and nuances of classical music is captured well also throwing ample light on how youtube singers think and sing. 5)The music by SEL is fantabulous, hats off to them for blending classical with contemporary so well The bad points- 1) the story could have been better 2) Radhe n Tamannas love story is surreal, they belong to two completely different world and their love story is unconvincing and does not look real. 3) Tamanna never does anything for Radhe without benefit. Radhe is head over heels in love with her while she is like ho hum. For her he is more like friends with benefits than a lover. 4) where is the local accent? Its so disappointing to see none of actor speaking in Marwari accent. Of all the actors only Rajesh Tailang dresses like a Jodhpuri middle aged middle class guy. I am not sure if the accent was deemed to be unnecessary or was overlooked knowingly. 5) Radhe, if shown authentically, would not have understood even 20% of Tamannas english. 6) Panditjis attitude towards Digvijay is just not explored properly, what is the reason of Panditji's anger? In fact Panditji's apathy towards Digvijay is very unconvincing and it should have been the other way round afterall it was Panditji who abandoned his family. Overall a show which would surely make you fall in love with classical music.

Watched this movie yesterday and not sure why this movie was even made. The storyline is absurd and screenplay is nowhere to be found. The movie just looks disjointed with no real flow to it. The ruh baba act is just unnecessary and over the top increasing the run time of the movie. The film is neither comedy nor horror, the comedy is forced and horror is not tense enough. The characters of Sanjay Mishra nd Rajpal Yadav are not funny and most of their scenes are cringe worthy. Music is poor and songs just pop out of nowhere to disrupt the flow. The suspense/twist can be guessed way before and it could not redeem the already confused movie. Tabu nd the kid playing potlu are the only saving grace in the acting department. Karthik Aryan tries very hard to imitate Akshay and in some scenes does get it right but it would have been better if he had not tried to copy Akshay and given his own spin to the character. Kiara looks beautiful but leaves a lot to be desired on the acting front. Amar Updhyaya is still in his Mihir Virani mode. Milind Gunaji speaking in marwari was really funny as he could neither get the accent nor the pronunciation right. Anees Bazmee is an average director and is good with Welcome kind of movies but BB is beyond his level and the end product is a mishmash of everything with little flavor to it. Avoid.
